Why I choose this book

椰芋嘘

  In a world saturated with media and entertainment, I was drawn to Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman. The title itself intrigued me, sparking questions about the role of entertainment in our lives and its potential consequences.
  As I delved into the book, I was captivated by Postman's insightful analysis of how the rise of television has transformed public discourse. He argues that television has turned everything, from news to education, into mere entertainment, eroding our ability to think critically. This resonated deeply with my observations of the modern media landscape, where attention - grabbing content often takes precedence over substance.
  I decided to write monthly book reviews as a way to engage more deeply with the material. Each month, I'll explore different aspects of the book, from its key arguments to their relevance in today's society. By writing reviews, I can not only solidify my understanding but also share my thoughts with others, fostering discussions about the impact of media on our lives. I believe that through these reviews, we can better understand the powerful influence of entertainment and work towards a more informed and thoughtful society.
